I thought that after seeing my husband struggling with this ordeal that it would be an eye opener for them but it wasn't.
I agree with Brian, he needs to do this on his own and for himself. It doesn't mean that he doesn't love you or doesn't care about you. Its out of control and its gonna take a lot of work to stop his addiction.
That is the irony of this whole thing with us as well. My husband has never smoked or chewed and yet this is happening to him.
I'm sorry you are having to deal with this and I know why you don't want to go through a similar situation again. This is a lot harder than anything I've ever imagined. I thought Scott was too young to have this but your sister was only 24.
Sorry I am no help but please know we are here for you.
